      Mechanical engineering industry trends

      Stay up-to-date with industry trends to remain competitive and meet customer demands

      One major trend in the industry is the growing adoption of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. This technology allows engineers to create complex geometries and produce parts and components faster and more efficiently than traditional manufacturing methods. Additive manufacturing is particularly useful for rapid prototyping and small-scale production, and has applications in a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.

      Another trend in the industry is automation, which is being used increasingly to improve manufacturing efficiency and productivity. Robots and other automated systems can perform repetitive tasks more quickly and accurately than human workers, freeing up skilled employees to focus on more complex and value-added tasks. Automation is also being used in quality control and inspection processes to improve product quality and reduce waste.
      Smart manufacturing is another emerging trend in the mechanical engineering industry. This involves the use of sensors, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms to optimize manufacturing processes and improve product quality. By collecting and analyzing real-time data, engineers can identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement in manufacturing processes, resulting in faster, more efficient production.

      Benefits of Atlassian Tools for Mechanical Engineering:

      Enhanced Documentation Management
      Atlassian tools like Confluence can help mechanical engineering teams document their work more effectively, making it easier to share knowledge, track project progress, and ensure that everyone is on the same page. This can help teams keep up with rapidly evolving technology by ensuring that all team members have access to the latest information and best practices.

      Improved Product Quality
      Atlassian tools can help mechanical engineering teams improve product quality by providing platforms for managing project requirements, tracking progress, and identifying and addressing issues in real-time. By ensuring that products are built to meet customer needs, are safe and reliable, and comply with industry standards and regulations, teams can deliver better products to their customers.

      Quality Control and continuous improvement

       

      Jira can be used to track quality control issues, including non-conforming products, corrective actions, and preventive actions. Quality control team members can use Jira to create, assign, and track issues, and monitor progress in real-time. You can also use Jira to track continuous improvement initiatives, such as Lean manufacturing projects, Six Sigma projects, and Kaizen events. Team members can use Jira to create, assign, and track improvement projects, and monitor progress in real-time.

      Visualization

       

      Jira can be used to visualize the status of shop floor operations using Kanban boards, Gantt charts, and other visual tools. Team members can use these tools to quickly identify bottlenecks, prioritize tasks, and track progress

      Documentation

       

      Confluence can be used to create and share standard operating procedures, work instructions, and quality control documents. With Confluence, team members can collaborate on documentation, track changes, and ensure everyone has access to the latest information.

      ISO, IATF and other standard compliance with Jira

      Policies and standards are documented in Confluence and managed in Jira. We use Confluence's formatting and layout features to display diagrams, flow charts, and other media. 

      In Jira, these are linked and managed. This means you can map their lifecycle and be warned of expiration, handle exception requests as linked tickets, and easily map policy updates.

      Audits are presented in a similar way to Epics. In audits, all inquiries are collected and answered. If findings are made during the course of the audit that need to be addressed, they are also linked to the audit. All tasks created as part of the Findings are assigned as Measures or Controls to the respective Finding. 

       

      ISO 27001

      Information security is critical in mechanical engineering to protect intellectual property, designs, and sensitive customer information. ISO 27001 is a standard that specifies requirements for an information security management system (ISMS). It helps organizations manage and protect sensitive information by identifying risks and implementing controls to mitigate those risks. Atlassian's Jira and Confluence tools can help organizations comply with ISO 27001 by providing secure platforms for information sharing, collaboration, and documentation management. These tools can help ensure that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized personnel and that access is tightly controlled.

      ISO 14001

      Environmental management is increasingly important in mechanical engineering to minimize the impact of manufacturing processes and products on the environment. ISO 14001 is a standard that specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS). It helps organizations manage their environmental impacts by identifying and managing risks and opportunities related to environmental performance. Atlassian's tools can help organizations comply with ISO 14001 by providing platforms for tracking and managing environmental performance metrics, identifying areas for improvement, and collaborating on sustainability initiatives.

      ISO 9001

      Quality management is essential in mechanical engineering to ensure that products and services meet customer needs, are safe and reliable, and comply with industry standards and regulations. ISO 9001 is a standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). It helps organizations manage the quality of their products and services by identifying customer needs and expectations, measuring performance, and implementing continuous improvement. Atlassian's tools can help organizations comply with ISO 9001 by providing platforms for managing project requirements, tracking progress, and identifying and addressing issues in real time.
